I upgraded from Stockfinder4.0 to Stockfinder 5.0 - fortunately, I had bought at the same moment a new laptop with an Intel i7 processor. The latest build works fine on this laptop and the speed is ok - even for a complex layout. I will proceed to run Stockfinder 4.0 on the old machines.

I still have one open issue, which I send to the support team and never received an answer:
In the previous version the all the condition were sorted from left to right. This means that I could see on the top all true conditions of the most left column in combination with the true conditions the second column and so on. Now it seems that every column is sorted by itself without any relationship with another column.

Is there a way to combine the sorting of conditions (without creating a separate combined condition)?

Thanks in advance

StockFinder 5 is currently limited to a single Sort and does not have the Prioritize Scan options (from Left to Right or by Number of Rules Passing) that were available in SF4. The only way I can think of to use multiple WatchList Columns in a Sort would be to combine them algorithmically in an Indicator and then use that Indicator as the Sort.

For a left to right Sort, you could add 2 ^ (Column Number starting from the right - 1) to the Value of the Indicator if that Column's Condition is True. For a Number of Conditions True Indicator, you would just add 1 to the Value of the Indicator if that Column's Condition is True.

You may also want to take a look at the SF5 is not a SCANNING tool, just a sorting tool. topic where jas0501 outlined something similar in more detail.
